The manual for Bison version 1.28, 1999 Jan 14,
bison.texinfo, does not mention GNU Emacs.
I think we all just assumed that anyone editing with Emacs would visit
a file and see what happens -- Emacs does the right thing.
But I just came across a person who did not do that.
A one line sentence would work:
You can edit bison or yacc files using GNU Emacs.
But it would be really nice if someone who understood this sort of
thing would write a short chapter, `Editing with GNU Emacs'.
People may not think of syntaxic highlighting (font lock), etags, M-x
compile, M-x gdb, and the new Info-lookup and ebnf2ps commands.
